Todos mortales
Ojos de Brujo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No son tus pies ni tampoco tu cabeza
La que gira, gira, gira sobre un eje dando mil vueltas
Quieras o no quieras, no se detiene por ná'.
Gira, gira
Como el que corre sin respiro pa' llegar a su meta
Gira, gira
Gira, gira
Como cometa que alcanza corriente y que vuela
Gira, gira
Como relojes que avisan del tiempo y lo esperan.
Gira, gira, gira
Pobres y ricos todos mortales
Siguiendo el mismo son, son, son
Y los mismos compases.
Gira, gira, gira
El universo con su galaxia
Y tú giras igual
Con tus miedos y tus esperanzas.
Que difícil decir que no
La pasión dice a la razón
Si miras p'abajo castiga y marea
Si tiras p'alante se lleva mejor
Si miras p'abajo castiga y marea....
Gira, gira...Gira, gira...Gira, gira...Gira, gira...
Después de tó' lo visto, después de tó' lo vivío
Después de tantas vueltas, de tanto giro y tanto lío
Y al final de tantas noches en vela
Coinciden tós' los caminos
Como arrieros que somos y caminantes que morimos.
Gira, gira
Como el que corre sin respiro pa' llegar a su meta
Gira, gira
Como cariño que descansa, despierta y te lleva
Gira, gira
Como cometa que alcanza corriente y que vuela
Gira, gira
Como relojes que avisan del tiempo y lo esperan.
Gira, gira...ay! que marea
Gira, gira...caminante, caminante
Gira, gira...haz tu camino y ná' más
Gira, gira, gira
Pobres y ricos todos mortales
Siguiendo el mismo son, son, son
Y los mismos compases.
Gira, gira, gira
El universo con su galaxia
Y tú giras igual
Con tus miedos y tus esperanzas.
The lyrics in Ojos de Brujo's song "Todos Mortales" explore the idea that everyone, regardless of their status or station in life, is mortal and subject to the same forces that govern the world around them. The opening lines suggest that it is not the individual who is in control, but rather the Earth itself, which is constantly in motion and cannot be stopped. The repeated refrain of "gira, gira" emphasizes this theme of constant motion and rotation, likening the human experience to a never-ending journey or cycle.
The second verse acknowledges the difficulties of navigating this cycle, with the passion and emotion of the heart often conflicting with the practicality of the mind. The metaphor of looking down and getting dizzy or looking ahead and moving forward reinforces the idea that finding balance and direction can be a fraught and challenging task.
The final verse brings a sense of conclusion to the song, acknowledging that despite all of the twists and turns of life, all paths eventually converge and all travelers share the same fate. The repetition of the chorus brings the listener back to the central message of the song: that we are all mortal beings spinning through the same universe.

Don´t get dizzy, it´s the earth pumping,
They´re not your feet neither your head what it rotates ...rotates...
About an axis running rings around,
We want, they want to on what haven´t any form...it rotates,...
Like who run without breath to get the goal, it rotates,...
Like affection that rest, wake up and bring, it rotates,...
Like a comet reaches current and flying, it rotates....
Like watches that alert time and not wait.
It rotates, rich and poor people, everyone mortal,
Following the same "son" "son "son", and the same beats,
Rotating, the universe with its galaxies,
And you rote alike, with your fears and your hopes.
What difficult thing, is to say no, Says passion to reason,
If you look down it punishes you and you get dizzy,
If you look ahead, it takes better,
If you look down it punishes you and you get dizzy, ...
it rotates, it rotates, it rotates...
After all ready, after all lived
after so many spin around and so much mess...
and at the end of so many sleepless nights
today we walk all the roads
as drovers who we are and walkers we die,
It rotates, rotates...
Like who run without breath to get the goal, it rotates,...
Like affection that rest, wake up and bring, it rotates,...
Like a comet reaches current and flying, it rotates....
Like watches that alert time and not wait.
It rotates, rotates,...
walker, walker, ...
it rotates, rotates,
and make your way and nothing more,
it rotates...
It rotates, rich and poor people, everyone mortal,
Following the same "son" "son "son", and the same beats,
Rotating, the universe with its galaxies,
And you rote alike, with your fears and your hopes.
CHIM PON!
